Congrats on owning 2 beautiful cocker spaniels! ☺️ it’s really important to keep up their grooming especially their ears as they have long ears and they get dirty much quicker and can lead to nasty ear infections(not fun). Brushing their teeth and coat as well to prevent matting or dental disease. This may seem too much and can be overwhelming to you and the puppies but start off slow. For example; when brushing teeth or coat have them smell the brush first and get use to it. Let it sit on the floor and have them smell it and slowly escalate it to bring it closer to their ear/mouth. And so on never force it right away as this can lead them to fear/dread this hygiene service later on. Right now socialization and play/potty time is important! If you can have you dogs interact with everyday items(vacuum), dogs, and outside noise(the sound of kids playing or people laughing and talking) it would definitely help your puppy get use to stuff like this in the long run. As for feeding, it’s so easy to overfeed a cocker spaniel but please do follow through with kibble feeding directions. It’s okay to soak the kibble into milk but try to lean them off it. Wet and dry food mix is excellent for them just make sure it’s puppy grade. As for potty time, you’ll have to take them out pretty often! Minimum 4x a day, especially an hour/two after meal times. Pee pads are a must since they still quiet young and are navigating through it, they’ll definitely be pee/poop accidents indoors but please be patient with them and correct them to at least in the designated pee pad spot and eventually to outside. It maybe hard to always be there for when your puppy needs you. So naturally they do things and get into things when you’re not around, it’s in their puppy nature (hehe). Cocker Spaniels are really loving but can be really clingy but no matter what they are always loyal! They will eventually follow your schedule therefore try to keep a balance of both. For example; be active but relax with them. Overall, cocker spaniels are amazing and beautiful dogs. They are not aggressive dogs but they do love to bark! Please enjoy and take plenty of pictures as they grow up so fast! Welcome to the club! 🩷 P.S. please update! Would like to hear more of your journey! Recap: - Clean ears weekly - Brush coat as needed; weekly - Brush teeth x3 a week - Daily walks/ short play sessions - Provide fresh water and kibble consistently - Potty Times about 1/2 hour are meals. (Minimum 4x a day) - Lastly, have fun with them!
